I have seen a couple reviews saying that the wide mouth sealer will work fine on regular mouth jars. Has anyone else tried this? *Update* Thank you for all of your helpful answers. I tried another reviewer suggestion of putting any mason jar/lid into one of their canisters&sealing. When you remove the jar it is sealed. It worked perfectly, so I'll just stick w/this for now.

The jar sealer has to fit snugly over the jar to work. Wide-mouth jar sealers work on the wide-mouth jars. Normal sized sealers work on the normal mouth jars. They are not interchangeable.

The wide mouth sealer is to big for the regular jars, you need both the wide and regular size.

I haven't tried this but my guess would be it will not work. The size difference is to great to form the seal around the jar. If you try it let us know.

Aloha C. Fields,I am a Holistic Healer and Health Consultant on Maui. I use both size lids every day.I sell a set of both WM lid & STND lid with a hand held vacuum sealer on Craigs List. I am 100% sure you CAN NOT seal a standard with a wide mouth lid. It's too big!

I'ved tried and didn't have good results, it really was hit or miss as to whether or not you'd get a seal. I ended up coming back and buying the "normal" jar sealer. I wouldn't do it if I were you. I can't even seem to FIND wide mouth jars to use.

Yes, it was not completely successful for me. I heated the lids as if I were going to can, so they were well prepared. They lost vaccuum after a while. If you are looking to store dry foods, I recommend sticking with the plastic. If you are looking to store them long term, then put the bags in plastic buckets with lids. IMO, the wide mouth would be fine for very short term needs, like left overs, but it is rather a pain to prepare lids in that case. I had no success when the lids were not prepared, which softens them to ensure the seal.

Yes, it does. I have used my Seal-a-meal to vacuum both the wide mouth and the regular mason jars. You need separate attachments for each size jar.

It's a big snug on regular half pint canning or jelly jars, so it wobbles slightly on those. It just perfectly fits on regular jars that are pints or larger, and also on 12 ounce "Quilted Crystal" jelly jars. It will also work on wide-mouth jars, but it will have lots more slack.

Sorry, but I have no idea if there is a difference. I figured either regular mouth jar sealer had to fit. I chose this one (from Goodman's) because it was the cheapest, including shipping. Still no problems with it at all. Hope this helps.

Absolutely. I use it all the time for canning jars. Mostly to strain kefir .. but yes, I've used it for both regular and wide mouth jars.

To my knowEdgE YOU can not seal jars. I have this unit and don't see how. It is great for everything else as long S YOU USE THE BAGS.

No, it will not fit into either a regular or wide-mouth mason jar. But it is still the best, handy to use, and easiest to clean masher I have eve used in my 75 years.

Yes, it will fit nicely on a wide mouth mason jar. I think you will want bigger than a 1 qt. jar, though.

There are 2 sizes. The regular size are for the small mouth jars. The wide mouth size are for the wide mouth jars and they will fit the Mason jars. Just be sure to order the wide mouth lids.

The airlock is universal, however, this kit is designed to work with a wide-mouth canning jar. (The white plastic disc replaces the canning lid, and it fits securely on the jar with a standard wide-mouth ring.) Unless ypu have an unusual gallon jar with a wide-mouth opening, this kit will not work. However, it will work with half-gallon canning jars with a wide mouth.

No would not work with regular mouth jars. I did try and it is to big unless you use a funnel... but that would be to tricky to pour, everything would go sew saw.

These are for regular mouth jars - I bought them for some really old glass ball canning jars with wire bails for the glass lids. Picked them up at a local antique shop. Perfect for storing dried herbs. Sounds like your jar is an odd ball size. The largest rubber seals that I found was Le Parfait 3.75" Rubber Canning Rings / Gaskets, Set of 4 through Amazon. You might have to google your required size.

it's easier to be sure that "no" is correct answer if you give us inside diameter and outside diameter of the opening of the jar itself, rather than inside diameter of the lid and "mouth of jar". are you by any chance familiar with regular mouth and wide mouth bale jars? it sounds like you MAY have a regular mouth bale jar, but without proper measurements, it's difficult to tell. sorry, for vague answer.

Without knowing the dimensions of the Tattler and Weck lids, there isn't any way to know. The sealer appears to be pretty size-specific, both in diameter and in height. The one I have fits wide mouth (~3 1/8") Ball and Mason jar lids just fine but won't fit the standard lids - though there is a different sealer that will fit them but not the wide mouth. I think the Tattler lids will work with any band which would seem to indicate that they would work with the sealer.

This listing is for the Wide Mouth jars only. There is another listing for the Regular Mouth jars. Thank you for your interest, Jack's Country Store

It does, despite Foodsaver designing both items in a way to try to prevent it, so that consumers buy the more expensive, larger, foodsave rather than the Freshsaver. To get it to work, you simply press the Freshsaver down firmly over the wide mouth jar adapter to ensure a good seal and it will work just fine. Alternately, there is a hose attachment that complements the jar adapter that you can modify by cutting one end off and inserting the hose end to the Freshsaver, which makes it easier to get a good seal and suction.

I use this on wide mouth quart jars. It works very well. If the 1/2 gallon wide mouth jars use the lids and bans then you shouldn't have a problem
